US Army Awards $12 Million Contract Extension to Gilat to
Sustain Anytime, Anywhere Satellite Connectivity
Gilat Wavestream to provide additional 50W Ka-band BUCs for long-term
sustainment of thousands of mobile Satellite Transportable Terminals (STTs)
Petah Tikva, Israel, April 2, 2024 — Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. (Nasdaq: GILT, TASE: GILT), a worldwide leader in satellite networking technology, solutions, and services, announced today that the United States
Army awarded a $12 million contract to its subsidiary DataPath, Inc., for the continuation of a program to sustain anytime, anywhere satellite connectivity.
The contract is for the supply of Wavestream’s Solid State Amplifier (SSPA) products. Wavestream SSPAs are ruggedized to withstand the harshest environments, enabling the Satellite Transportable Terminals (STTs)
used in this program to deliver a “Communications-on-the-Pause” solution across diverse climates and conditions around the globe. This award demonstrates Gilat’s ability to leverage the capabilities of its two US-based subsidiaries, Gilat
Wavestream and DataPath, Inc.
“With more than a decade and a half of field-proven performance, the Wavestream 50W Ka SSPA continues to satisfy the Army’s need for dependable satellite communications in support of our warfighters operating in
harsh and hostile environments around the world,” said Bob Huffman, Gilat Wavestream’s General Manager. “Over the years, we’ve deployed thousands of BUCs to the military and we take great pride in providing proven technology that’s fielded for
mission-critical telecommunications. We are very excited to continue to bring solutions to the Army and are delighted that we can also now supply through our DataPath team.”
“DataPath is pleased to work with Gilat Wavestream on this order for the United States Army,” said David McDonald, President of DataPath. “This award demonstrates our continued commitment to
excellence and also showcases the strength of our diversified capabilities and further solidifies DataPath and Gilat Wavestream as trusted partners of the US defense community.”
